INSTRUCTIONS
Rub the garlic, salt, lemon juice and coriander into the cavity of the chicken. Mix together the onion, spices and olive oil and rub over the outside of the chicken. Leave to stand for 30 minutes. Place the chicken breast-side down in a tagine or heavy oval casserole, making sure you add all the marinade juices. Pour in sufficient water to cover two thirds of the chicken and add the stick of cinnamon. Bring the water to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, turning the chicken several times during cooking. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/gas2. Rinse the preserved lemons and olives under cold running water. Cut the preserved lemons into strips. Remove the chicken from the casserole if that is what you are using, place in an earthenware serving dish and cover with foil to keep warm (if you have a tagine, drain the sauce into a pan). Turn up the heat under the casserole for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the tagine and add the olives and preserved lemons. Place in the oven for 10 minutes and serve. DISCLAIMER© Copyright 1996 - SelecTV Cable Limited. All rights reserved. Carlton Food Network http://www.cfn.co.uk/ Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
